VP Social Login - Login Module

The module shows the same social buttons anywhere on your site — in any template position or inside an article — independently of the login form.

Publish the module

  1. Go to Content → Site Modules → New and choose VP Social Login.
  2. Give it a Title (or hide it with Show Title: No).
  3. Pick a Position in your template (for example sidebar-right).
  4. Set Status to Published and assign it to the menu items where it should appear.
  5. Save.

The module requires the System - VP Social Login plugin to be installed and enabled — it renders the buttons that the plugin provides.

Options

On the module's Module tab:

Option What it does
Button style Inherit from plugin, or override per module: brand colours, outline, or icon only.
Layout Stacked (one button per row) or Inline (buttons in a row).
Notice when logged in Show a short notice instead of nothing when the visitor is already signed in.

Layouts

Choose the layout that fits the position. Stacked suits narrow columns and sidebars:

Stacked layout.

Inline suits wide areas and headers:

Show it inside an article

To place the buttons in article content, note the module's ID and use Joomla's loadmodule syntax (the Content - Load Modules plugin must be enabled):

{loadmoduleid 123}

Replace 123 with your module's ID.
